I am surprised that people know what amazon music is.

    Honest question, why should I be paying for a music streaming app when I already have YouTube premium? Also, does no one use Pandora anymore? I still use it occasionally.

      You mean because that subscription includes premium YouTube Music?

        Yes. I see people with multiple subscriptions, including like yt and Spotify, and I don’t understand why. Lol Do the offer services offer something other than just ad free listening that you wouldn’t get with yt music?

          There’s definitely differences in the catalogs. If there’s a particular genre that isn’t well represented on YouTube Music that is well covered on Spotify. Maybe they just got YT Premium as a family subscription because the kids are on YouTube all the time. I personally can’t imagine switching to a service that doesn’t have a digital locker for me to upload my existing library like YouTube Music does (though I’m still mad at the uploads being less integrated than they were in GPM).

        So Pandora stops playing for me if it can’t get ads, it wasn’t like that in the past but more recently it has become a pattern.

      Exactly. And Spotify for example is horrendous. I don’t understand how people can use an app that is so slow and buggy.
